The flight to Paris leaves at 2am tomorrow. We are going to drop Jean off at grandparents’ house tonight (cus she has to go for NEmation) , and then yeye will drive us to the airport to send us off. After which, he’ll take care of the car. His car died recently, probably of old age. Oh and I just remembered, when I asked him what colour his new car was going to be, he told me it would be silver. At first, he wanted yellow, the very bright highlighter type, but then I think my very conservative nai nai violently objected.

I checked out our accommodation and yay, there’s free internet access in the room! That means I can record my experiences there more easily using dad’s laptop. Hopefully, there really is. Otherwise I’ll feel cheated.

The time in Paris is 7 hours behind Singapore. Temperature is relatively cold.

Mom set me holiday homework before this – research on Paris. Well at least I have a rough idea on what to look out for and the significance of the stuff I will see.

It’ll be my first time stepping into Europe. In my whole life, out of the 80+ (Jean counted) cities I’ve visited, three-quarters are in the US. After some time, I got very bored of US and was very excited about exploring Asia. Now, I want to see Europe. Oh and just an interesting fact, mom and dad’s honeymoon was a tour of Europe, so they’ve been to Paris before. One of dad’s important missions this time might be to take a picture of the Eiffel Tower again.

I hope to type the next post in Paris tomorrow.
